Rock Cakes. Rock cakes definitely look like scones, but these two baked goods are different. Rock cake dough is stiffer, and the cakes are smaller, rolled into balls, and dropped like a cookie onto a baking sheet. Scone dough is gently patted or rolled out and then cut into shape before baking, which takes place at a higher temperature than rock cakes.

So easy to make, and lots of fun for children to join in too.

Delia's Good Old Rock Cakes recipe. These were once economy cakes, not too expensive, providing cake for large families. They were not going to be included in this edition - until, that is, we made some. And unbelievably they went down a storm. These rock cakes really are a simply wonderful treat that isn't too full of sugar, buttery and ever so slightly crumbly.
